Best Europe trip!!
Reviewed By Arielc - Pearland Tx | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe
Lydia was amazing in making our trip stress free. It was our first time flying to Europe and she booked all our excursions and hotels. Honestly, I did not even look up the hotels until right before the trip. Once we got to Europe, I realized how great of a job Lydia did booking our hotels. The locations and service were amazing. Everything went smooth and if I had a question she was always on standby throughout the trip. 10/10 recommend

Second Honeymoon
Reviewed By Danielle Marie - Katy, Texas | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Venice, Bologna, Assisi, and Rome! Lydia was fantastic with helping my husband and I book our dream adventure across Italy. From planes, trains, hotels, and everything in between Lydia walked us through every step. Tackling any foreign country alone can seem daunting. We aren’t the carefree travelers we once were so having a trip thoughtfully curated for us was perfect! It was great to be able to message her with even my smallest question. Venice was like stepping on to the set of a movie. Lydia set us up in a romantic little room tucked right by the Rialto bridge. This made it easy to navigate our excursions and the mornings were so picturesque and evenings dreamy romantic. To head to our next destinations in Italy we had to navigate the train systems, Lydia helped us with that and we even booked our trains in advance. Bologna is the food capital of Italy and the food did not disappoint. We stayed in a cute modern boutique hotel the vibes definitely flowed with the city. This was a qu

"So glad you enjoyed your second honeymoon, and yes Italy is one of my favorite places to visit again and again! Each city has its own charm and personality. Your pictures were amazing, and your smiles said it all. I look forward to your next adventure as a family!"

Our First Cruise Set the Bar High
Reviewed By Betsy Capps - Inside Passage Viking Cruise | Traveled to Alaska | USA
My husband and I just returned from our long awaited Alaskan Cruise on Viking Cruise Line!!! Lydia was fabulous in helping us plan everything ! From the first phone call I had with her, which was 8 months before our trip, she was always quick to answer every email, text, or phone call. Lydia was very professional, able to answer every question I put to her, and fun to talk to!! This being our first cruise she was so patient and walked me through anything that I was unsure of. She left no question unanswered, whether it be what clothes to take, tips on how to pack, what to expect on the ship, even which seasick meds to get just in case they were needed. I am happy to report none were used! I appreciated due to Lydia having so much travel experience, she was full of helpful hints to make our trip go smooth, so we could cross this destination off our bucket list! I will absolutely be contacting Lydia Mondragon for all of our future travel needs. I will be recommending Lydia to o
